People in the Netherlands are in shock! After the results from the 2007 semi were made public, there was great disappointment as it turned out Sharon would have qualified if the voting machine would have worked properly, but whilst the failing of the jury, the entry by Sharon Kips 'Heartbreak away' was robbed it's qualification by the 50% punishmentrule.
It is rumoured that (with the 12th place she now was put back in rank) she would have even made it to the top 3 in the semi's out of 26 songs. Sharon reacted very disappointed, but ... rules must be obeyed.
Some questioned the rule, because punishment is heavy considering the amount of countries competing.
Sharon is willing to enter the summer preselections in the Netherlands with another song. Meanwhile an actiongroup has put up a petition for Sharon to compete in the Second Chance USC for Summer 2007 with "heartbreak away".... to be continued.
